JAMIE CARRAGHER believes his former teammate and friend Steven Gerrard may have the advantage going up against Brendan Rodgers next season.

The former defender believes that Gerrard being under Rodgers guidance at Anfield would have let the new Ibrox boss see how he operates and be able to counteract that more than any other manager could.

“If Brendan gave away too many secrets, then Stevie will be making sure he uses them against him very soon. It’s funny how the football world works.” Carragher joked.

There is one thing knowing what your opponent may do, it’s a whole other kettle of fish trying to stop them from doing it.

Celtic are so far ahead of the Ibrox side that Brendan Rodgers could let him into team meetings all next season and the Englishman won’t get near the double treble champions.
